There's no better feeling than being truly immersed in the world of my own creation. Sometimes, I feel like a god in that world. And other times, I'm more like a fly on the wall. Either way, it's as good as a holiday.

Write for the love of writing and just because you want to get published. The former will feed your soul; the latter may prove your ruin. There’s so much in the publishing world that is outside your control: whose desk your manuscript lands on, what they are looking for, even what kind of mood they are in when they read it. The one thing you can control is the laying down of word after word, sentence after sentence, on that blank page. There’s the real thrill.

I’ve got two other manuscripts to brush off – one is about two strangers who exchange notes with each other through a hidden drawer in a café table, and the other is loosely based on the true story of the Fish Man of Toolondo, a man who was found dead on a rural property in western Victoria, wearing a homemade fish suit.
I’m also itching to write a fourth manuscript which I can only describe as being ‘something about postcards’.

I was in a car accident with my mother and sister when I was ten and, even though nobody was particularly hurt, I can still feel the impact of that accident to this very day. It fundamentally changed me and the way I experience the world and has made me fascinated with those moments – large and small – upon which an entire life can turn. So I decided to take that accident, put two fictious sisters and their mother in the car, and then began to imagine other turning points in each of their lives.
